Favorite Quote:
“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”
― John Lennon


I'm from a world split into two:

From quiet plantations, green mountains, welcoming places, sweet smells, and

From the slick, clean, kitchen floors.

I'm from a wonderful place either way.


I'm from a place where the weather is unpredictable!

From rocks below my feet, sunshine in my eyes, worms between my toes and

From loading my gun, falling down hills, yelling "MOMMY!"

I'm from every little place in between.


I'm from a musical place:

From having grandpa playing his guitar just to make me smile,

From singing "Keep the Lamp on Sadie."

I'm from a calm place.


I'm from "Electronics are brain suckers!"

From "I''m 19 in the head."

From "Quit your complainin', just get it over with."

I'm from a hardworking family.


I'm from "Grandpa, I love you."

From "Can we go fishing?"

From "I miss you bunches!"

I'm from a carring bunch.
